IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. AP-76,554

EX PARTE ODIS CLINT FARRAR, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 8528 IN THE 8 TH DISTRICT COURT FROM FRANKLIN COUNTY

Per curiam.

OPINION Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of assault, family violence, and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

Applicant contends that his conviction is illegal because the enhancement alleged to make this a felony offense was improper. We remanded this application to the trial court for findings of fact and conclusions of law.

The trial court determined that Applicant has never been previously convicted of a family violence assault and therefore this felony conviction is improper. Applicant is entitled to relief.

Relief is granted. The judgment in Cause No. 8528 in the 8th Judicial District Court of Franklin County is set aside, and Applicant is remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Franklin County to answer the charges against him.

Copies of this opinion shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
